Several ghost kings met in the shadows.

They gathered deep in a secluded cave, without any lights, only a few eerie green flames flickering slowly on the low table.

Several ghost kings sat around the table in silence for a while before one of them spoke:

"Those metal shells are increasing in number. Before, they would come in groups of a few, but now they're like locusts, everywhere. In just a few days, the number of demon people in my territory has decreased by 30%!"

Another ghost king chimed in:

"What can we do? The Ghost Saint Queen Mother of the West said it's a divine beast of the mortal realm. To dare touch it would be a great disrespect to the Queen Mother of the West!"

"A mythical beast?"

That's our territory. When did it become the place for a bunch of lumps of iron to run rampant here?

The third ghost king tapped the stone table lightly with his fingers. He was a size larger than the other two. After listening to the other two ghost kings finish speaking, he slowly spoke:

"Since we've provoked it, we need to show it we're not to be trifled with and teach it a lesson. But let's leave no loose ends, so even if the Ghost Saint suspects we did it, she won't have any evidence. For the sake of the bigger picture, she won't dare do anything to us!"

That night, the three ghost kings secretly mobilized their elite ghost soldiers, with a clear objective.

They specifically target those lone, isolated cleaners that are far from the main formation.

They chose a remote, low-lying river valley with complex terrain and a thick layer of yin energy, which provided cover and made it easy to ambush.

As the first Cleaner entered the ambush zone, the ghost soldiers poured out simultaneously from the cracks on both sides, like a black tide pouring down from the rock crevices.

The ghostly soldiers brandished their weapons, attempting to destroy the Cleaners through physical impact and the corrosive power of their ghostly energy.

The first few attacks were ineffective, as they were all blocked by the electromagnetic barrier.

But as the endless attacks came, the electromagnetic barrier on the Cleaner began to flicker, eventually breaking and being crushed to the ground. It was repeatedly struck until its shell deformed and its joints broke. The system's alarm continued to sound for a while before it finally went completely silent.

Seeing this, the ghost soldiers' morale soared, and they tightened their encirclement even faster, attempting to destroy the remaining Cleaners in the same way. However, just when the ghost soldiers thought these iron behemoths were nothing to fear, the surrounding Cleaners gathered together.

They spread out in formation, providing mutual cover to reduce blind spots, and then switched the beams of their head searchlights to high-frequency pulse mode. Wherever the beams passed, the ghost soldiers vanished as if melted by the scorching sun.

In an instant, the ghost soldiers' battle line was quickly pushed back. The ghost soldiers tried to regroup, but their formation could not be stabilized under the sweeping of pulse beams.

The Ghost King panicked when he saw that his personal guards had suffered heavy losses.

With a roar, he stepped out of the shadows and soared into the sky, raising his hand to strike the continuously attacking formation of cleaners.

The palm strike brought a dull thud, instantly extinguishing the headlamps on the covered cleaners. The outer shell caved in from the center, and cracks spread outwards along the metal surface, as if an invisible hand had crushed their main frame from the inside.

Then, the nearby Cleaner units also completely shut down, their long legs slightly bent, kneeling on the ground, no longer moving.

The mastermind immediately relayed the news of the attack to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo, who was investigating the Queen Mother of the West, immediately told her the news.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly stood up, snorted coldly, put on her clothes with a wave of her hand, and transformed into a stream of light that soared into the sky.

Suddenly, the figure of the Queen Mother of the West appeared in the low-lying valley.

The Ghost King who had personally carried out the deed was still standing beside the shattered remains of the Cleaners, examining the iron lumps for anything of value.

Sensing the murderous intent coming from behind, he turned his head sharply and saw the figure of the Queen Mother of the West and her cold expression. He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Suppressing his fear, he opened his mouth to say something, but before the words could escape his throat, an invisible pressure spread from where the Queen Mother of the West was, like an invisible curtain slowly falling, pressing him and the surrounding Yin energy within several miles into the ground.

His knees bent, then his entire body, as if held down by a force older than the earth itself, rendering him unable to resist.

The Queen Mother of the West didn't look at him or say anything more. She simply raised her hand to signal a well-maintained cleaner in the distance to come forward, then turned around and walked back the way she came.

The cleaner moved closer as instructed and began its work.

The nobles who had been watching the battle of the ghostly soldiers from afar trembled at the sight.

No one dared to utter a sound, and their gazes toward the Queen Mother of the West were filled with awe and fear.

This news quickly spread throughout the land, and the Spirit Cleanser thus truly became a divine beast of the land.

Some evil spirits, seeing them approach, didn't even dare to run away, but instead knelt on the spot, muttering:

"I am guilty, please forgive me, divine beast..."

He lay prone on the ground, his body trembling slightly, too afraid to lift his head.

As the cleaners passed by, there was no disturbance; the searchlights swept over them, sucking them all into their bodies, and they continued to roam and clean the area.

As the number of cleaners increased, the output of spirit storage units began to increase rapidly. Once the quantity was sufficient, Lin Mo also began to consume the essence of the purified spirits to strengthen his own soul.

He had never forgotten the exhilarating sensation he had experienced before, and now he could finally try it again.

As he continued to explore the effects of the spirit storage unit, he discovered something else.

While consuming the spiritual essence, he received several times the sensory feedback, and the improvement in his soul was also much greater than when using it alone, as if there was some kind of synergistic effect between the two that he had not anticipated.

This unexpected discovery caused the already sensitive Queen Mother of the West to take flight and spend her days floating in the sky.

"I'm afraid my current spiritual strength has already reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, right?"

A few days later, Lin Mo released west Wangmu and stretched.

His cultivation level remained at the Golden Immortal level, without any increase, but the strength of his soul had jumped to a higher level.

That solidity, as if it had been rewoven from the inside.

The mainframe counted the spiritual storage units and found that the number was running low and would soon be depleted.

Turning his head to look at the Queen Mother of the West:

"Master, there aren't many ghosts left in the mortal realm."

Let's also send the cleaners into some human realms.

The Queen Mother of the West, who was still savoring the afterglow of her nap, slowly opened her beautiful eyes and nodded:

"Alright."

She glanced at Lin Mo and slowly changed out of her battle robes.

Lin Mo returned to World One to retrieve a new batch of spirit cleaners, and then returned to the Earth Realm with the equipment.

The Queen Mother of the West had changed into a black robe. After Lin Mo stood firm, she reached out and grabbed his arm, lifting him into the air.
